The Royal Southern Brotherhood Irrompono Sulle Scene Musicali Rock Con Una Grande Forza The Royal Southern Brotherhood Prima ancora che tocchino una nota i The Royal Southern Brotherhood hanno già attirato l‟attenzione del pubblico. Nel sud degli Stati Uniti, dove la musica è religione, sovrastano tutti con il loro rock‟n‟roll: dal Mississippi al Maryland, semplicemente menzionando il cast di The Allman e Neville Brothers viene gettato un incantesimo, le conversazioni si spengono, le bottiglie di birra vengono sollevate in aria in segno di salute e cala il silenzio. Non sono solo una semplice band, ma sono il meglio, con un line-up che comprende I famosi Cyril Neville e Devon Allman, irrompono con grandi aspettative che non possono deludere. L‟albero genealogico è promettente ma questa nuova band si basa sul talento. Non riguarda la storia della musica rock ma riguarda le scene musicali contemporanee. Ora come ora tutti I commenti e mormorii riguardano il loro album di debutto prodotto con Jim Gaines in Louisiana, ma torniamo indietro nel tempo, all‟estate del 2010 nel caldo soffocante di New Orleans: la città che ha tenuto a battesimo gli Allman al The Warehouse ed ha fatto da sfondo all‟unione tra Cyril, Devon e Mike Zito. Parlando dell‟idea di formare una nuova band di blues-rock iniziano a suonare nell‟appartato studio di Garden District dove la chimica è troppo forte per poter essere negata. Un primo accenno al potenziale progetto arriva dalle demo e da una raffica di video inviati su YouTube ma il loro ufficiale debutto arriva a settembre al New Orleans’ Rock ‘N’ Bowl. Un southern rock, ma non come lo conosciamo noi, un crescendo di armonie e duri riffs di chitarra si intracciano con I famigliari stili infuocati dal rock. La reazione del pubblico dice tutto: The Royal Southern Brotherhood irrompono sulle scene musicali rock con una grande forza. Il line-up ha talento da vendere, il già famoso Cyril Neville, poeta, filosofo, eccellente percussionista e, forse l‟ultimo grande cantante soul del Sud degli Stati Uniti, all‟età di 63 anni è all‟ultimo capitolo della sua carriera che inizia nel 1970 con il debutto da solista con il singolo “Gossip” e la presenza nella funk band del fratello d‟arte, The Meters, che è già al primo posto nelle classifiche del „69 con l‟immortale hit “Cissy Strut”. Percussionista e voce di classici album incluso Cabbage Alley del ‟72 e Fire On The Bayoudel ‟75 viene incitato da Mick Jagger a lavorare sulla voce, dopo averlo sentito cantare con The Meters all‟apertura del loro concerto per lo Stadium tour del ‟75. Figura fondamentale per la crescita dei Neville Brothers, crea un alchimia con Bob Dylan, Bono e Willie Nelson, leader della sua band Tribe 13 vanta anche delle apparizioni televisive al Jimmy Kimmel Live! e Treme della HBO. È solo un assaggio del suo curriculum…che è appena accennato. Analoga la carriera di Devon Allman. Fratello di Gregg Allman, a 36 anni ha il rock„n‟roll nel DNA, ma decide di intraprendere la sua carriera da solo. Cresciuto lontano del fratello, rifiutandosi di approfittare del suo celeberrimo cognome, le sue influenze toccano tutti dai The Beatles ai KISS, mentre la sua prima band percorre una grande varietà musicale di stile piuttosto che seguire la scia degli Allman. Nel 1999, diventato leader dei Honeytribe, i cui album lo introducono come un impavido chitarrista della nuova generazione, non può più negare la sua eridità musicale e cade tra le braccia del blues-rock, uno stile che richiama le sue influenze focali, da Carlos Santana allo zio Duane Allman, mentre si prepara a creare il proprio stile. Negli ultimi sette anni Devon ha tracciato la sua ascesa alla vecchia scuola, in tour in ben 14 continenti, esibendosi ogni notte in un luogo diverso fa cadere I fans sotto il suo incantesimo: quando Devon occupa il palco, sia con Honeytribe o con il padre e the Allmans, I fans sono strabiliati da questo chitarrista che può essere morbido, selvaggio o sismico allo stesso tempo, ma è proprio con i The Royal Southern Brotherhood che lo sentirete suonare al massimo delle sue capacità. Non molti chitarristi possono stare al passo con lui, uno di questi è Mike Zito: l‟asso del blues con un grande orecchio per la melodia e lo stile tendenzialmente rock. Nominato nel 2011 come “Best Blues Rock” per il Blues Music Foundation e vincitore nel 2010 con il brano” Pearl River” (scritto con Cyril Neville), come “Song Of The Year” per i Blues Music Award, come i compagni e “rivali” Devon e Mike, provienienti dal circuito di St. Louis, ha una storia alle sue spalle, e mentre continua la sua ascesa – basta ascoltare l‟album Greyhound (nominato nel 2011) - capiamo perchè The Royal Southern Brotherhood lo hanno voluto con loro con l‟anima che scorre attraverso le sue dita. Ma come dice Cyril, “it’s all about making “a good gumbo”, and that’s where God’s own rhythm section comes in”. Quello che dà alla band il suo groove sono il bassista Charlie Wooton e il batterista Yonrico Scott: due grandi nomi nel mondo musicale, con Il basso di Charlie che irrompe sulle scene con i Woods Brothers e Yonrico che colpisce per luminari quali Derek Trucks Band, Gregg Allman and the Allman Brothers Cinque stellari musicisti riuniti per formare un’unica band! Si dice che il rock„n‟roll sia morto, ma ci si sbaglia. Proprio ad oggi, nel 2012, c‟è qualcosa nell‟aria, qualcosa che i The Royal Southern Brotherhood stanno delinenando con il loro nuovo sound blues-rock e il talento della musica del Sud degli Stati Uniti che irrompe sulle scene mondiali. Il Sud è nuovamente in fermento pronto per un altra corsa. sito ufficiale: royalsouthernbrotherhood.com Line-up: Cyril Neville – Percussion and Vocals Devon Allman – Guitar and Vocals Mike Zito – Guitar and Vocals Charlie Wooton – Bass Yonrico Scott – Drums .

  • Love, Oh Love, Oh Careless Love
    Love, Oh Love, Oh Careless Love Careless Love is perhaps the most enduring of traditional folk songs. Of obscure origins, the song’s message is that “careless love” could care less who it hurts in the process. Although the lyrics have changed from version to version, the words usually speak of the pain and heartbreak brought on by love that can take one totally by surprise. And then things go terribly wrong. In many instances, the song’s narrator threatens to kill his or her errant lover. “Love is messy like a po-boy – leaving you drippin’ in debris.” Now, this concept of love is not the sentiment of this author, but, for some, love does not always go right. Countless artists have recorded Careless Love. Rare photo of “Buddy” Bolden Lonnie Johnson New Orleans cornetist and early jazz icon Charles Joseph “Buddy” Bolden played this song and made it one of the best known pieces in his band’s repertory in the early 1900s, and it has remained both a jazz standard and blues standard. In fact, it’s a folk, blues, country and jazz song all rolled into one. Bessie Smith, the Empress of the Blues, cut an extraordinary recording of the song in 1925. Lonnie Johnson of New Orleans recorded it in 1928. It is Pete Seeger’s favorite folk song. Careless Love has been recorded by Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Fats Domino recorded his version in 1951. Crescent City jazz clarinetist George Lewis (born Joseph Louis Francois Zenon, 1900 – 1968) played it, as did other New Orleans performers, such as Dr.

  • Devon Allman, Son of Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band, Leads His Band Called Honey Tribe and He Is a Member of Royal Southern Brotherhood As Well
    Singer/guitarist Devon Allman, son of Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band, leads his band called Honey Tribe and he is a member of Royal Southern Brotherhood as well. Now Devon has recorded his first solo album that is made up songs that are written about his personal life along with one Tom Petty cover song. The 2013 International Blues Challenge was held in Memphis from January 29 – February 2. Ghost Town Blues Band from Memphis did not win, but they did make it to the top ten. They have released two excellent albums and can be seen performing at many local venues. Former Memphian Little G. Weevil won the solo/duo category and best guitarist in that category at the IBC. His excellent album The Teaser is a great example of why he won. Boz Scaggs came to Memphis to record his new album titled, surprisingly enough, Memphis. Most surprising is how well he handles the soul and blues songs on Memphis. Devon Allman – Turquoise Devon Allman is Gregg Allman’s son, but he grew up with his mom in Corpus Christi, Texas, away from the rock & roll lifestyle. He didn’t even meet his dad until he was a teenager, but they are now very close. While Devon was influenced by The Allman Brothers, he was also influenced by a myriad of other musicians and styles of music, so he really doesn’t sound much like The Allman Brothers. Devon has his own unique sound, both in his guitar playing and his singing. Some have tried to compare him to his uncle Duane, but aside from both having blonde hair and favoring Les Paul guitars, there aren’t a lot of similarities.

  • 2)GEORGE PORTER Jr Di Massimo Luna.Pdf
    Introduzione: Ci troviamo a 1Vew Orleans tra gli anni 60' e 70'. Un periodo particolarmente fertile e creativo, che favorì la nascita della musica R & B e Funk. E' la New Orleans delle band che nascono dalla strada, dei musicisti che imparano a suonare da qualcuno che sa suonare meglio di loro, conle una sorta di tradizione orale, di insegnamento non scritto e del tutto legato all'esperienza diretta. La sera si va nei locali, si suona, si fanno Jam Sessions, è cosi che nascono le nuove formazioni, i nuovi gruppi. Questa è la realtà in cui vive George Porter Jr.. Lui stesso in un' intervista racconta quanto sia stato importante, anche a livello umano, crescere in quell'ambiente. Tra le esperienze più sigriificative per George c'è sicuramente quella con "the Meters", definil:i una delle più grandi band rock-fusion degli anni 701,con all'attivo 11 dischi in 15 anni circa di attività. Loro sono stati la prima jam band della storia, come dichiara lo stesso George. Andavano sul palco e suonavano partendo da qualcosa di stabilito, per poi virare verso il riff o il carribio che qualche membro del gruppo aveva proposto sul momento.. .un perfetto esempio di interplay! I loro brani presentavano spesso delle parti "open", con dei pedali e con qualche solo di organo. Ai nostri giorni è usuale che rapper ed esponenti della musica hip hop, usino alcuni loro brani come basi per rappare sopra, vista la forte spinta ritmica da cui sono caratterizzati. Biografia: George Porter Jr. nasce nel 1947 a New Orleans Louisiana.

    THE WARNER BROS. LOSS LEADERS SERIES (1969-1980) Depending On How You Count Them, 34 Essential Various Artist Collections From Another Time We figured it was about time to pull together all of the incredible Warner Bros. Loss Leaders releases dating back to 1969 (and even a little earlier). For those who lived through the era, Warner Bros. Records was winning the sales of an entire generation by signing and supporting some of music’s most uniquely groundbreaking recording artists… during music’s most uniquely groundbreak- ing time. With an appealingly irreverent style (“targeted youth marketing,” it would be called today), WB was making lifelong fans of the kids who entered into the label’s vast catalog of art- ists via the Loss Leaders series—advertised on inner sleeves & brochures, and offering generous selections priced at $1 per LP, $2 for doubles and $3 for their sole 3-LP release, Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies. And that was including postage. Yes… those were the days, but back then there were very few ways, outside of cut-out bins or a five-finger discount, to score bulk music as cheaply. Warners unashamedly admitted that their inten- tions were to sell more records, by introducing listeners to music they weren’t hearing on their radios, or finding in many of their (still weakly distributed) record stores. And it seemed to work… because the series continued until 1980, and the program issued approximately 34 titles, by our questionable count (detailed in later posts). But, the oldsters among us all fondly remember the multi-paged, gatefold sleeves and inviting artwork/packaging that beckoned from the inner sleeves of our favorite albums, not to mention the assorted rarities, b-sides and oddities that dotted many of the releases.
